"When I commit to something, I do it 100 percent, and I've never had [creative control over a fragrance] until this project," she said. "I wasn't worried about deadlines. It could have taken me three, four, however many years — this was my first fragrance, and I wanted to make sure that it was something I would love forever."

Beyonce's Heat line includes three sizes of eau de parfum and a gold sparkling body lotion.

The fragrance will become available just weeks after Beyonce will vie for 10 Grammy Awards at the Jan. 31 ceremony. Her nominations — the most of any artist this year — include album of the year for her double CD, I Am … Sasha Fierce. She was also nominated twice for song of the year — for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" and for "Halo."
